In a peaceful moment at home, a wise and experienced father sat with his educated son. They were interrupted by the arrival of a bird landing on their window. The father, growing curious, repeatedly asked his son what kind of bird it was. To his frustration, the son gave the same answer each time: “It’s a crow.” The repeated questioning and unchanging response led to an outburst of annoyance from the son.

However, the father, seeking to calm the situation, retrieved an old diary. Within its pages lay a cherished memory from years ago when the son was just a toddler. They had encountered a crow, and the young child had asked the same question repeatedly. Yet, the father responded each time with love and tenderness, never growing irritated.

As they reflected on this memory, the father shared a profound lesson with his son. He emphasized that as parents age, they may start to repeat themselves or require more assistance. However, they still deserve patience, understanding, and above all, respect. The father urged his son to treasure his parents and treat them with kindness, recognizing the countless sacrifices they made to raise him.

The heartfelt message deeply resonated with the son, igniting a newfound appreciation for his parents’ unwavering love and care. With a renewed sense of gratitude, he vowed to honor his parents and serve them with the utmost respect and kindness.

As the father’s diary entry came to a close, it served as a powerful reminder to everyone of the importance of treasuring and cherishing our parents. Their love and sacrifices are truly invaluable, and it is our duty to nurture and honor them with love and reverence.
